Speed and How to Obtain It

5/5 ( ratings)

158 pages, 53 black & white illustrations, size 5 x 7 inches. Originally published by Iliffe & Sons of London UK in 1925, this is the 1953 7th edition published for "The Motor Cycle".
With foreword by H. W. Louis, Editor, The Motor Cycle

From the dust jacket:
"This handbook has been written primarily for the sporting motor cyclist who intends to take part in racing events of any kind, and secondly for the ordinary private owner who, though without racing aspirations, desires to obtain the finest possible performance from his machine. For both classes of enthusiast the book gives much valuable information on the various factors that influence high performance in motor cycles.

Technicalities are avoided as far as possible, but every aspect of this fascinating subject is touched upon, including engine design, adjustment and improvement, fuels, lubrication, steering, transmission, suspension, supercharging, running-in and final tuning. A special chapter gives advice on actual racing technique, and includes many helpful tips on riding tactics.

This seventh edition has been carefully revised, many new illustrations have been drawn by staff artists of The Motor Cycle, and an up-to-the-minute review of technical trends is provided"
